Here’s how USC’s defense will adjust to Max Williams’ season-ending injury

The first major injury news of 2021 struck USC this week, as nickelback Max Williams tore his ACL and will need 9-12 months to recover, likely ending his 2021 season, head coach Clay Helton confirmed Saturday.
It’s devastating news for Williams, who suffered the same injury in the opening game of his senior season at Serra High. It cost him the first two games of his redshirt freshman season but he was able to play just over a year later. He vowed on Twitter to make a similar recovery.
